Article: Essential, Elusive Visibility

In an article published in OR Today, Matthew Brunson Martin, MD, FACS says “From the surgeon’s standpoint, when looking through the scope, our brain gets an understanding of the area of focus and all the surrounding anatomy. Every time the scope comes out and goes back in, we have to locate all those landmarks again and refocus. In addition to making surgery faster and less stressful [with the ClickClean], there is another significant advantage to not removing and reinserting the scope for cleaning: This approach is easier on the camera operator, which in turn benefits both the surgeon and the hospital.”
